Epiphone's SG Performance Pack has everything you need to take on the guitar world in a serious way, including a genuine Epiphone SG-Special LE electric guitar featuring two classic humbucker pickups with a Killpot control and a full-on, equally menacing 15-watt Epiphone Electar guitar amp with reverb. Epiphone also includes a guitar cable, a clip-on headstock chromatic tuner, an Epiphone guitar strap, medium picks and an easy-to-carry gigbag. And best of all for new players, the Epiphone SG Performance Pack comes with free downloadable guitar lessons from eMedia. The eMedia introductory guitar lessons offer easy instructional videos covering rock, blues, folk, country, hard rock, metal and everything in-between.

I got this as my first guitar. I was very excited to play this, and for a beginner it was decent but there are some key issues. The G, B, and high E string all put forth a loud buzz through the amp. When these strings are muted, the amp itself buzzes. The overdrive setting on the amp produces horrible feedback and has an extreme buzzing sound which is annoying. On the clean setting however, the amp is much quieter but still has a faint buzz. The power cord to the amp is thin and brittle, and can easily break if not taken well care of. The guitar's pickups are pretty disappointing, and after a month of play the bridge pickup stopped working. It does stay in tune decently, but not nearly as well as the Squier package I bought for about the same price. Overall, its not an awful guitar, but there are several alternatives that are far better for the price.
